First record for Ontario. The bird has been present since June 1st, but its daily movements are extremely erratic. Has also been seen on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River on several occasions. Initially it had two nice long head plumes, but these have either broken off or worn off over time.

Bird Photographer, some Mammals, some Landscapes
I have been a bird watcher for many years but have recently began to devote more time to photography. By chance I use Canon gear and am still trying to learn my way around the cameras and lenses. Most of my early pix were taken with a 30D and 300f4. Now I am using a 7D and a 1DM4 with a variety of telephoto lens from the 300f2.8 to the 800f5.6.
I find most photography websites intimidating so I am just gradually learning on my own or picking up tips from other photographers - slow and steady. In addition to static portrait shots I like good images of moving birds in cluttered habitat, but I find they are a real challenge to secure.

Monte Taylor is a Canon Professional Photographer. He began his interest in birds and nature at the age of 9 years. That interest grew into wildlife photography which he has pursued now for over 55 years.
His images have been published in National Geographic, National Audubon Society Books, Field Guides and Magazines, Birding, Western Birds, and numerous other books, magazines, periodicals internationally, CD's, DVD's, and research papers over the last 40 years.
His accomplishments include photographing nearly all (over 840 species) of the expected bird species, including many of the rarest, in North America. To that he has added many of the large mammals, cetaceans, and sea mammals and expanded into species from Japan, China. Hong Kong, Thailand, east Asia, and the Bahamas. He has also been in the number one position on the most photographed birds in the American Birding Association area (North America) for the last several years.
At present he has over 980,000 stock images of these species (and sub-species) in different poses, age groups, and activities.
His travels have taken him to each state and province on the North American continent, north of Mexico (and Mexico as well), including many trips to Japan, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, east Asia, and the Bahamas.
His most favorite places are Alaska (most favorite), California, southeastern Arizona, Florida, Ohio, Texas, Japan, China, British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, Canada, Japan, China, and Thailand.
